Mornington Race 2

Flex23 Asphalting Mdn Plate

Stake: $36,480

Race knocked about by scratchings, which gets GLIDING LIGHTENING (15) a run. Hasn't set the world on fire in three runs but has trialled well ahead of the return and has been scratched a number of times of late so the stable are obviously looking for the right race. The fact she's here is a good pointer to suggest they think they might have found it. BIG STAR (14) walked in in a recent trial and could have improved during the break. PRESTIGE KA YING (8) hit the line well on debut and looked sharp in her latest jumpout. Begg and Childs combine here with SHAPENAPIT (11), who finished off nicely in a recent Caulfield trial, which hinted that the daughter of Bivouac has her share of talent.

Three-year-old filly having first run by leading sire Written Tycoon out of November. Was second in a 850m barrier trial on November 24 at Tatura. Eye-catching latest jumpout when powered to the line late and draws to advantage here.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by Strasbourg out of Highleigh. At the most recent trial finished fifth on November 20 at Caulfield Heath over 800m. Well-held by French Intrigue at latest trial but wasn't knocked along and must be respected on the home deck.

First starter by Toronado out of Alexana purchased for AUD $ 420,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). Has a total of six trials prior to her debut today. Drawn well but inclined to risk off what we've seen at the jumpouts.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Kilmore 2yo Hcp July 13 over 1204m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind Tempt The Gods carrying 55kg at $20. On debut fifth of 10 at Bendigo 2yo F Mdn-Sw June 26 over 1000m, in the wet; 6 len behind Teine Aulelei carrying 57kg at $9. Gapped them in a recent Tatura trial, which suggests she's come on from the debut prep.

Finished off last campaign led but faded 3rd of 8 at Ballarat Synthetic 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 17 over 1200m, 2 len behind Lofty Thoughts carrying 56kg at $10. Latest jumpout was super and scratched several times of late, so connections obviously looking for the right race and conditions.
